About this map

Halfway Hollow defines the arid, high-desert landscape of this corner of Uintah County, where complex topography and seasonal drainages dominate the terrain. A network of primitive roads and 4WD tracks, such as 012107 and 012110, crisscross the basin, indicating the region's continued importance for resource access and grazing. The presence of Cottonwood Spring provides a rare point of perennial water in an otherwise parched environment characterized by significant geological depressions and rises. In the northeast, the presence of Coal Mine Basin suggests a history of local mineral extraction, while the winding Twelvemile Wash to the south and the curiously named Corkscrew feature in the west highlight the erosional forces that have shaped this portion of the Uinta Basin.
